Mazda CX-30 DM e-SKYACTIV-G 2.0 M Hybrid 150 Selection AWD SKYACTIV-Drive - Terrain

Can the Mazda CX-30 DM e-SKYACTIV-G 2.0 M Hybrid 150 Selection AWD SKYACTIV-Drive also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The Mazda CX-30 has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 175 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive. Torque is available at 213 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The Mazda CX-30 has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
